Default Enough with the Conroe already!

Looking through the threads and all the random posts I see all kinds of people championing the Conroe and telling people "wait for Conroe" and "Conroe's the best hands down" and all the stuff of that sort. The only thing I can say is ENOUGH WITH THE CONROE ALREADY!

The new Core architecture is not going to be the end all of cpu's, it's not going to be the savior of intel and it's not going to revolutionize the entire computer industry. All it is, is a new cpu. It'll do all the stuff you need it to do and then some. It's not going to be the bullet in AMD's brain or anything like that.

It's irritating to see people ask for a suggestion on an AMD cpu and all you get from some, not all of these tard's regurgitating random specs and stats that everybody's already heard or "wait for Conroe." (see Green Radience) So please if people don't ask for an opinion on Conroe, don't offer it.

Just because I wasn't registered before April dosen't mean I wasn't reading the threads. Read it again, I said opinions on AMD, not AMD vs. Intel.

It might not put the finishing nails in AMD's coffin, but I can tell you this, it will make them look bad and may put in a few nails.

It wont do anything. It was Intel last time and now its AMD. It will be back the other way next time prolly and on and on. Seriously, Conroe is not god, so drop it. Im tired of hearing the same crap as well. "Whats the best AMD processor you can buy??" "Oh wait for Conroe is SOOOO much better!!!" :rolleyes:

He's totally right though. If someone came to this forum and wanted to buy a Intel Pentium 4, how many of you would simply show him the Pentium 4, and not tell him to buy a Athlon 64 over it? Hmm...

Nice One Uzi.
Lol, thats going in my sig.
